Absolutely perfect

Absolutely perfect. John was prompt, helpful and allowed me to complete my renewal with practically no hassle at all. Can't quite believe how smooth the process was! I will use DroneRenewals every time I need to make amendments to my operations manual and the yearly CAA renewals.

This was the first time I used DroneRenewals

This was the first time I used DroneRenewals. John really did go that extra mile to get me over the line. It was comforting to know that my paperwork was all up to data and the new regulations were taken care of. I would highly recommend using DroneRenewals.

Exactly what it says on the tin.

My experience with Drone Renewals was very positive. I can't speak highly enough about it.

As someone who struggles with paperwork and legislation, having someone that could help me get all of my paperwork up to date was an absolute godsend.

I was a little sceptical when I first came across Drone Renewals but my experience was nothing but positive.

The first update of my operations manual bounced back from the CAA due to a couple of very easy to miss oversights. However, as soon as this happened Drone Renewals were extremely fast in correcting the minor oversights and we got it sent back off very quickly.

The updates were accepted the second time around and I was free to fly once again.

Honestly, if you are worried about renewing your permissions then this service is professional, timely, and extremely good value for money!

I will definitely be using them again next year.

If you are still sceptical, then feel free to drop me a message on IG (@benmalone) and I will happily reinforce my claims. I am not sponsored or affiliated with Drone Renewals in any way, these are my genuine experiences with this company.

Excellent and professional service

John at Drone Renewals was incredibly helpful and professional. The process of renewing my license was always incredibly stressful, but after using his services it's made it all so less stressful. Definitely worth it, and allows you to understand new regulations and changes in a very simple and accessible way. Definitely recommend!

Professional and efficient service with vast knowledge

My first experience with DroneRenewals has been a good one and will more than likely return. The date of my PFCO/PDRA renewal unfortunately comes at the wrong time for me as I'm normally ramping up for the coming season and trying to get everything else ready.

The renewal process has been made even more time consuming as the amount of changes to the laws/ANO that has occurred so John's service has definitely helped and added value and freed up my time to concentrate on other things.

John explained his service thoroughly, provided advise where needed and updated and reformatted my Ops Manual in the shortest of time, then submitted all relevant docs to the CAA on my behalf. The CAA checked my Ops Manual and issued the new PDRA within 9 days, first time, with no issues.

It is evident that John is a very knowledgeable professional and is passionate about helping other professionals.

Thanks John.

Fantastic service, that has saved me a huge amount of time.

Each year renewing my PFCO / PDRA has always taken huge amounts of my time away from paying work and running my business - Largely due to updating ops manual to conform with current legislation and terminology rather than having to update my operational practices which is very frustrating.
I'm very pleased with the results working with Drone Renewals - not only has it saved me time but it's given me piece of mind to know that everything I'm submitting to the CAA has the correct and up to date terminology.
The team was very professional and helpful, I couldn't recommend them enough!

Amazing service from start to finish. With all the new changes I was getting totally confused. John was patient, happy to explain all the new rules and regulations and update and renew my drone pilots permission. Will definitely be using again.
